Question

What is the need for land reforms implemented in the agriculture sector?

पर्याय

• Land Tenure System

• Size of Land Holdings

• Lack of Initiative

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

Land reforms in India were urgently required for the following reasons:

1. Land Tenure System:
   At the time of independence, the Indian agricultural sector had three types of land tenure systems the Zamindari System, the Mahalwari System, and the Ryotwari System. The land was largely cultivated by the tenants, and the land revenues were paid to their landlords in all three systems. As a result, tenants were exploited by charging high rents.
2. Size of Land Holdings:
   The size of the farmers' landholdings was quite minimal. Furthermore, the landholdings were dispersed. This made it impossible to use modem technology.
3. Lack of Initiative:
   Because the landlords owned the majority of the land, the farmers lacked the initiative and lacked the financial wherewithal to use mechanized farming practices.
